Any recommendations for powering the Arduino Yun from batteries, I'm looking at the following with an 850mAh battery. I'm not planning on having the Yun turned on all of the time. Any hints and tips?

Hi Andy!
One option might be the TI BOOSTXL-BATTPACK which has a 1200mAH battery with it, and has 5V output (and 3.3V optional from memory, using a jumper) so perfect for Yun - as long as you're willing to use jumper cables to connect them up (since the TI BoosterPack form-factor is not the same as the Arduino shield form-factor).
I've used the BOOSTXL-BATTPACK with a Raspberry Pi too - works nicely. For that I made myself a little BoosterPack-to-RaspberryPi adapter - see photo below. The file for it is here Temperature Measurement for Lab and Science Projects .
Unfortunately the BOOSTXL-BATTPACK is 'Awaiting Delivery' on the UK Farnell site currently.
